English term or phrase: bookmaker
Es ist kein Wettbüro, sondern ???
also *Buchladen* passt meines Erachtens nicht, denn es geht wirklich nur um Wetten und nix anderes

context:
x.com is a bookmaker not a betting exchange, so our markets are always liquid (you are not dependent on anyone else to place your bet) and there is no commission to pay.

Many thanks !!

Explanation:
Wettbörse - wobei die Wetten nicht direkt getätigt sondern über eine Art Broker (Mittelsmann) erfolgen
